Change director

The Charities Directorate can only discuss a charity’s file with the authorized representatives on file. Therefore, it is in your best interest to make sure that we have up-to-date information about your directors, trustees, or like officials.

Note

This process does not replace the requirement to complete Form T1235, Directors/Trustees and Like Officials Worksheet, when you file your Form T3010, Registered Charity Information Return. Form T1235 is used to update the director, trustee, and like official information in the List of charities.
